Place Value

Our current Math focus has been to represent numbers in a variety of ways. Students came up with many different strategies that they recalled from last year. They have really great memories. Students will be working towards representing numbers in a variety of ways. We will use our Place Value chart to remind us of the ways to represent a number. At the start of all of our math lessons, students will work on a math problem and then observe the different ways their friends solved the same problem. Ask your child to recall how to represent a 3 digit number. There are many strategies that we went over this past week.

We are working towards understanding how to compose and represent numbers up to 1000. We will be using place value to help us compose numbers in a variety of ways. Today we practiced using base 10 blocks on the SmartBoard and on matts as we composed a variety of numbers.

Ask your child how they can represent a number using its place value!
